Ductwork Repair & Replacementin Kendall, FL
Repair, redesign and replacement of crushed, leaking or undersized ducts for even cooling in every room.
Ductwork Repair & Replacement for Kendall buildings
Forty-year-old attic ducts in Kendall are often grey flex duct with a brittle outer jacket, or duct board with failed tape at every joint. Air lost in the attic never reaches the bedrooms at the end of the run. We pressure-test the duct system and show you the leakage figure before recommending sealing or replacement.
The ducts are half of the cooling system, and they are often the half nobody has looked at in decades. Attic temperatures in Miami regularly exceed 130°F, and after twenty or thirty years flex duct jackets crack, duct board joints separate and insulation falls away.
We repair individual runs, rebuild returns that are too small, and replace whole duct systems designed with Manual D so each room gets the airflow it needs.
Signs of a duct problem
- Some rooms are much warmer than others
- Weak airflow at certain vents
- Whistling or loud air noise at the return
- High bills with a system that tests healthy
- Visibly sagging, torn or disconnected ducts in the attic
How we work
- We inspect the attic and measure airflow at each register.
- We identify crushed, leaking, disconnected or undersized sections.
- You receive a priced plan for repair or replacement.
- We install insulated duct, sealed with mastic at every joint, and rebalance the system.
Ductwork Repair & Replacement in Kendall: questions
How long does ductwork last in Florida?
Around twenty to twenty-five years for flex duct and duct board in a hot attic. Sheet metal lasts longer, but its insulation and joints still deteriorate.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Kendall?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Kendall requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by Miami-Dade County, since Kendall is unincorporated and has no city building department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Who issues AC permits in Kendall?
Kendall is an unincorporated community, so mechanical permits come from Miami-Dade County's permitting office instead of a city building department. We file the permit, schedule the county inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Why are the back bedrooms in my Kendall house always warmer?
On single-storey Kendall homes the bedrooms are usually at the end of the longest duct runs. Leaky or crushed attic ducts and an undersized return are the usual causes. We measure airflow at each register and fix the duct problem, which is often cheaper than replacing the air conditioner.
